We are once again pleased to work with the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association to offer the E License course at the Soccer Champions Coaches' Clinic at Mohegan Sun.
E License candidates should read the information below carefully as pre-event coursework is required to participate in the E License this year and there is the possibility that some number of E License candidates might have to complete their E License Practical Field Test at Post-Event Testing Sites in several locations across Connecticut.
* Massachusetts Youth Soccer coaches must have completed their F Certificate in order to participate in this E Certificate course (F Certificate to E Certificate waiting period has been waived for this special offering).
Instructors: CJSA Staff & MYSA Staff
IMPORTANT: To earn your E License, coaches MUST:
- PRE-REGISTER for this E License Course offering & PAY their clinic registration fee in advance of the clinic;

*Possible POST-EVENT Testing for Practical Field Test:
Based on the number of candidates participating, some E License candidates may be required to attend Post-Event Testing Sites to complete their Practical Field Testing component of the E License. The Practical Field Testing component of the E License is mandatory as of late 2011.
We have two off-site testing sessions scheduled for the 2013 Clinic at the following locations and on the following dates:
Advanced Sportsplex
1280 Newfield Street
Middletown, CT
8:00AM - 11:00AM
Saturday, March 16, 2013
Waterbury Athletic Center
28 Hamilton Park Road
Waterbury, CT
10:30AM - 1:30PM
Sunday, March 24, 2013
It is likely that Connecticut-based coaches will be asked to attend one of these post-event testing sessions in order to receive their E License. Exact details will be determined on-site at the clinic depending on the size of the E License class. We will do our best to accommodate coach requests but we reserve the right to assign E License candidates to one of these off-site Practical Field Testing sessions if we cannot complete all tests on-site.
